The 

Christian  Church 

JVhat  of  Its  Future 

Not  many  weeks  or  months  had 
elapsed  after  this  world  war  began 
before  there  was  presented  to  our  vision 
a  picture  so  horrible  it  hardly  seemed 
that  it  could  be  true. 

It  appeared  that  hell  had  broken 
loose  and  that  millions  of  evil  spirits  had 
become  incarnate  in  human  form  and 
were  going  about  the  earth  committing 
atrocities  and  acts  of  cruelty  beyond 
belief.

THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

In  the  face  of  this  awful  picture  we 
heard  it  said  on  every  hand,  Christianity 
has  failed! 

The  war  has  been  going  on  for  one 
year,  two  years,  three  years,  and  now  it 
is  in  the  fourth  year.  And  another  pic¬ 
ture  is  presented  before  our  eyes.  In  it 
we  see  millions  of  men  and  women  who 
•  are  exemplifying  in  their  daily  lives,  in 
the  most  commonplace  fashion,  charac¬ 
teristics  and  qualities  which  command 
the  admiration  of  the  world. 


First  of  all  is  a  spirit  of  self-sacrifice 
and  unselfishness.  Whether  it  be  on  the 
battlefield  or  behind  the  lines,  in  the 
pestilence-ridden  district  or  among  the 
starving  villagers,  the  thought  is  never 
of  self,  but  always  of  the  other  man  or 
woman.

WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


We  see  charity  exhibited,  brotherly 
love,  as  it  has  never  been  manifested 
before.  Whenever  and  wherever  human 
need  appears,  the  last  crust  is  cheerfully 
shared,  the  last  garment  is  gladly  given 
to  a  more  needy  one. 

And  we  see  beautiful  and  countless 
examples  of  humility.  Who  will  forget 
the  story  of  the  titled  Belgian  women? 
The  man  in  charge  of  a  food  distribution 
depot  in  a  certain  Belgian  city  needed  a 
number  of  women  to  work  in  the  depot, 
scrubbing  the  floors,  washing  the  dishes, 
and  serving  the  food.  He  could  find 
none  to  perform  these  menial  tasks. 
He  was  directed  to  the  house  of  a  noble 
Belgian  woman,  but  it  seemed  useless  to 
apply  there.  However,  he  was  told  to 
do  so,  and  as  he  entered  he  found 
gathered  a  group  of  titled  women,  work¬ 
ing  diligently,  industriously  for  their 


5 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

fellow  countrymen.  He  was  asked  to 
state  his  errand.  And  from  that  group 
there  volunteered  the  necessary  number 
of  women  to  go  to  the  food  depot  daily, 
scrub  floors,  wash  dishes  and  do  the 
other  menial  work  required. 

This  same  quality  is  exhibited  as  we 
see  the  son  of  the  nobleman  bivouacing 
with  the  son  of  the  peasant  and  each 
finding  that  under  the  coat  of  the  other 
beats  an  honest  and  manly  heart.  The 
real  gentleman  or  gentlewoman  in  this 
great  host  is  he  or  she  who  serves  best 
and  who  serves  most. 

And  again,  the  characteristic  of  gen¬ 
erosity  is  manifested  to  a  marvelous 
degree.  Many  people  of  means  have 
long  since  been  giving  their  entire  in¬ 
come  and  in  addition  cutting  deep  into 
their  principal.  Those  having  moderate 
possessions  are  making  great  sacrifices  to 


6 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


meet  the  demands  made  upon  them. 
And  the  poor,  always  most  generous,  are 
giving  their  all. 


So,  as  we  look  at  this  picture,  we  say, 
“These  people  are  leading  the  Christ- 
life,  their  inspiration  comes  from  God.” 
Yes,  it  is  true,  but  many  of  them  do  not 
know  it.  We  ask,  “Of  what  church  are 
they?”  But  the  very  thought  gives 
them  pause,  for  they  regard  the  church 
as  the  abode  of  the  “Better-than-thous,” 
an  organization  in  which  men  and  wo¬ 
men  are  gathered  who  profess  one  thing 
and  from  which  they  go  out  to  live 
another.  It  is,  from  their  viewpoint,  an 
institution  which  has  little  sympathy  with 
them  or  understanding  of  their  problems.

THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

Donald  Hankey  speaks  of  these  people 
as  followers  of  ^The  Religion  of  the 
Inarticulate/^  Their  religion  is  ex¬ 
pressed  in  life,  not  in  words. 

With  renewed  faith  we  turn  from  the 
picture  and  say  with  confidence,  ‘^Chris¬ 
tianity  has  not  failed;  the  Church  may 
have  failed,  but  not  Christianity!  For 
never  in  the  history  of  the  world  was 
Christianity  a  more  vital  force  in  human 
life  than  it  is  today. 

In  the  presence  of  this  great  host  of 
the  followers  of  the  Religion  of  the 
Inarticulate,  who,  broadly  speaking,  did 
not  come  forth  from  the  church,  although 
directly  or  indirectly  all  have  been  more 
or  less  influenced  by  it;  many  of  whom 
have  faced  death,  have  lived  a  life  far 
worse  than  death,  have  sacrificed  their 
all,  we  ask,  “What  of  the  future  of  the 
Christian  Church 


8 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


Will  these  people,  freed  from  the 
restraint  of  military  discipline,  which 
numbers  of  them  have  been  under  for 
years,  released  from  the  high  tension  of 
life,  find  in  the  church  as  it  exists  today 
the  leadership,  the  guidance  and  the 
anchorage  which  they  need  and  have  a 
right  to  expect? 

Regretfully  we  answer,  ^^No/'  For 
the  church  does  not  speak  their  language ; 
it  does  not  understand  their  needs;  it 
does  not  sympathize  as  it  should  and 
must  with  their  problems. 


If  this  be  true,  one  of  three  things  is 
inevitable : 

First,  this  unorganized  spiritual  force 
which  is  silently  dominating  millions  of 
lives  will  not  be  conserved,  but  will  die. 
Such  a  thing  is  unthinkable ;  it  cannot  be ; 


9 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

it  must  not  be.  For  so  mighty  a  force, 
born  of  bloodshed  and  suffering,  if  it  can 
be  preserved,  if  it  can  be  nurtured,  will 
more  than  repay  the  world  in  the  days  to 
come,  for  the  sacrifice  and  loss  of  these 
awful  years. 

Second,  the  Religion  of  the  Inarticu¬ 
late  will  develop  its  own  church,  which 
will  be  the  church  of  the  future,  finding 
its  leaders  among  the  laity;  and  if  this 
happens,  as  is  not  impossible,  it  will  be 
conclusive  proof  that  the  church  of  to¬ 
day  has  failed. 

Third,  the  church  must  have  a  new 
birth  and  be  reorganized  to  meet  this 
marvelous  opportunity  and  great  human 
need.  This  last  alternative  is  the  right, 
logical  and  natural  solution  of  the  prob¬ 
lem.  It  must  be  realized,  and  the  re¬ 
sponsibility  therefor  rests  upon  each 
member  of  the  Christian  Church. 


10 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 

Let  US  picture  for  a  moment  what  this 
reborn  church  would  be. 

It  would  be  called  the  Church  of  the 
Living  God. 

Its  terms  of  admission  would  be  love 
for  God^  as  He  is  revealed  in  Christ  and 
His  living  spirit,  and  the  vital  transla¬ 
tion  of  this  love  into  a  Christ-like  life. 

Its  atmosphere  would  be  one  of 
warmth,  freedom  and  joy,  so  sympatheti¬ 
cally  and  distinctly  manifest  as  to  attract 
and  win  into  its  fellowship  the  followers 
of  the  Religion  of  the  Inarticulate. 

It  would  pronounce  ordinance,  ritual, 
creed,  all  non-essential  for  admission 
into  the  Kingdom  of  God  or  His  Church. 

A  life,  not  a  creed,  would  be  its  test; 
what  a  man  does,  not  what  he  professes; 
what  he  is,  not  what  he  has. 

Its  object  would  be  to  promote  applied 
religion,  not  theoretical  religion.  This 


11 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

would  involve  its  sympathetic  interest 
in  all  of  the  great  problems  of  human 
life;  in  social  and  moral  problems,  those 
of  industry  and  business,  the  civic 
and  educational  problems;  in  all  such 
as  touch  the  life  of  man. 

As  its  first  concern,  it  would  encourage 
Christian  living  seven  days  a  week,  fifty- 
two  weeks  in  the  year,  rather  than 
speculation  about  the  hereafter. 

It  would  be  the  church  of  all  the 
people,  of  everyone  who  is  fighting  sin 
and  trying  to  establish  righteousness; 
the  church  of  the  rich  and  the  poor,  the 
wise  and  the  ignorant,  the  high  and  the 
low — a  true  democracy. 

Its  ministers  would  be  trained  not 
only  in  the  seminary,  but  quite  as  much 
in  life,  with  the  supreme  emphasis  on 
life.  For  it  would  be  an  important  part 
of  the  preparation  of  each  that  he  should 


12 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


spend  months,  years  possibly,  working 
with  his  hands  in  the  fields  or  the  shop, 
doing  business  in  the  store  or  the  office, 
so  that  he  might  not  have  merely  a 
laboratory  acquaintance  with  the  prob¬ 
lems  of  human  life,  but  the  practical 
knowledge  which  alone  comes  from 
actual  experience  and  contact  with  them. 

Yes,  the  ministry  of  this  church  would 
live  in  vital  touch  with  humanity;  it 
would  understand  and  sympathize  with 
human  difficulties,  and  would  exert  its 
influence  as  much  in  living  as  in  preach¬ 
ing. 


Would  that  I  had  the  power  to  bring 
to  your  minds  the  vision  as  it  unfolds 
before  me! 

I  see  all  denominational  emphasis  set 
aside. 


13 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

I  see  co-operation,  not  competition. 

In  the  large  cities  I  see  great  religious 
centers,  wisely  located,  adequately 
equipped,  strongly  supported  and  in¬ 
spiring  their  members  to  participation 
in  all  community  matters. 

In  smaller  places,  instead  of  half  a 
dozen  dying  churches,  competing  with 
each  other,  I  see  one  or  two  strong 
churches,  uniting  the  Christian  life  of  the 
town;  great  economy  in  plant,  in  money, 
in  service,  in  leadership;  money  enough 
saved  in  this  way  to  support  adequately 
home  and  foreign  missions. 

I  see  the  church  moulding  the  thought 
of  the  world  as  it  has  never  done  before, 
leading  in  all  great  movements  as  it 
should. 

I  see  it  literally  establishing  the  King¬ 
dom  of  God  on  earth. 

Shall  this  vision  be  realized?  The 


14 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 

future  of  the  Christian  Church  depends 
on  the  answer  Christian  men  and  women 
give  to  that  question. 


We  have  been  considering  the  demand 
for  a  united  Christian  Church  from  the 
point  of  view  of  the  world’s  need  for 
Christian  leadership.  There  is  another 
motive,  not  less  compelling,  urging  the 
churches  on  toward  that  end.  In  the 
Germans  and  the  Allies  we  may  find  an 
analogy  that  makes  this  necessity  clear. 

Whatever  we  may  think  of  the  motive 
that  actuates  Germany  in  this  great  war, 
there  is  one  fact  in  the  German  situation 
which  commands  our  admiration — that 
is  the  perfect  co-operation  in  which  the 
whole  nation  is  working,  every  indi¬ 
vidual  interest  and  desire  being  sub- 


15 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

ordinated  to  the  one  great  object  for 
which  the  nation  is  fighting. 

The  Allies,  on  the  other  hand,  because 
of  the  unavoidable  lack,  at  the  outset,  of 
close  co-operation  and  subordination  of 
the  interests  of  each  to  the  common 
interests  of  all,  have  in  consequence, 
sacrificed  hundreds  of  thousands  of  lives 
and  billions  of  dollars  which  otherwise 
might  have  been  saved. 

Do  we  not  find  a  close  parallel  here  to 
the  eternal  warfare  which  is  being  waged 
between  the  forces  of  evil  and  the  many 
branches  of  the  Christian  Church?  The 
former,  Hke  the  Germans,  always  stand 
in  a  solid,  unbroken  phalanx,  ever  ready 
for  any  onslaught;  while  the  latter,  like 
the  Allies,  although  headed  toward  a 
common  goal,  are  often  so  preoccupied 
with  their  individual  interests  and  petty 
differences  that  their  attack  upon  the 


16 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


common  foe  is  not  united,  is  less  effective 
and  more  extravagant  in  its  use  of  the 
sinews  of  war. 

The  Allies  are  coming  rapidly  to  real¬ 
ize  that  national  interests  must  be  for¬ 
gotten  or  at  least  subordinated  and  every 
ounce  of  strength  and  nerve  thrown  into 
the  common  cause,  if  the  victory  is  to  be 
won.  So  Christian  men  must  come  to 
see  that  only  by  the  fullest  co-operation 
and  the  withdrawal  of  emphasis  from  all 
non-essentials  can  the  many  branches  of 
the  Christian  Church,  standing  together 
on  the  common  ground  of  Christianity, 
hope  for  victory  in  this  great  warfare 
against  sin. 


When  Christ  came  into  the  world  he 
found  the  church  loaded  down  with 
ritual  and  formalism.  Every  minutest 


17 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 


detail  of  daily  life  was  regulated  by 
religious  enactment.  In  the  eyes  of  the 
church  the  most  religious  man  was  not 
he  who  gave  to  the  poor,  who  helped  the 
unfortunate,  who  was  unselfish,  meek 
and  lowly,  but  he  who  kept  most 
punctiliously  every  jot  and  tittle  of  the 
law.  The  spirit  of  worship  had  been 
displaced  by  empty  form. 

To  establish  spiritual  righteousness  in 
the  world,  to  build  up  an  internal  rather 
than  an  external  religion,  to  emphasize 
the  responsibility  of  the  individual  to  his 
Maker,  that  was  Christas  mission  on 
earth. 

Few  and  simple  were  the  forms  He  set 
up  or  sanctioned,  such  as  baptism  and 
the  Lord^s  Supper,  but  they  were  wonder¬ 
fully  beautiful  and  filled  with  sacred 
inspiration. 

Baptism,  typifying  the  washing  away 


18 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


of  sin  by  the  baptismal  waters  and  a  re¬ 
birth  into  newness  of  life  in  Christ,  is  an 
ordinance  of  profound  symbolic  meaning 
and  one  of  great  helpfulness  to  many 
people.  Christ  himself  was  baptized; 
He  preached  baptism;  He  commanded 
His  disciples  to  baptize;  He  regarded 
baptism  as  an  expression  of  affection 
between  the  soul  and  the  Saviour.  He 
did  not,  however,  make  it  a  condition  of 
church  membership,  as  is  commonly 
assumed,  or  look  upon  it  as  an  act 
relating  the  believer  to  the  church;  nor 
did  His  disciples.  Baptism  was  made 
the  door  of  the  church  by  man,  such 
action  being  based  on  inferences  from 
the  words  of  Christ  and  His  disciples. 

The  Lord^s  Supper,  typifying  our  as¬ 
similating  Christ’s  very  body  and  blood, 
that  we  may  be  more  like  Him,  is  also  an 
ordinance  rich  in  symbolic  beauty.  Far 


19 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

be  it  from  any  true  follower  of  Christ  to 
minimize  the  spiritual  value  of  these 
symbols.  In  this  day  of  materialism 
they  should  be  preserved  and  guarded 
with  increasing  jealousy,  for  they  foster 
the  idealism  of  our  religion. 

In  the  face  of  the  great  problems  of 
sin  and  evil  with  which  the  world  is 
confronted  today,  can  we  imagine  that 
were  Christ  to  come  to  earth  again 
He  would  regard  the  observance  or  non- 
observance  of  these  and  other  ordinances 
and  individual  beliefs,  or  the  manner  in 
which  they  are  observed,  as  of  sufficient 
importance  to  justify  the  separation  into 
rival  factions  of  good  men,  all  members 
of  His  spiritual  kingdom,  and  contro¬ 
versy  among  them  about  doctrines? 

Can  we  fancy  Him  giving  His  ap¬ 
proval  to  such  a  course,  which  results 
too  often  in  relaxing  the  warfare  against 


20 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


the  common  enemy,  sin,  to  oppose  which 
Christ  came  to  earth,  and  in  causing 
men  to  forget  their  common  responsibil¬ 
ity,  the  needy  brother,  to  help  whom 
Christ  gave  Himself  so  constantly? 

Let  ordinance,  creed,  ritual,  form, 
biblical  interpretation,  theology,  all  be 
used  to  enrich  worship,  or  to  bring  the 
believer  into  a  fuller  understanding  of 
Him  whom  we  worship,  as  each  indi¬ 
vidual  or  separate  church  may  find  them 
helpful  toward  that  end.  But  God  for¬ 
bid  that  they  should  ever,  any  of  them, 
divert  the  attention  from  or  be  regarded 
as  a  substitute  for  that  personal,  spirit¬ 
ual  relation  between  the  soul  and  its 
God  which  is  the  essence  of  true  re¬ 
ligion. 

God  forbid  that  they  should  ever,  any 
of  them,  be  allowed  to  cause  divisions 
among  the  followers  of  Christ  or  be  set 


21 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

up  as  barriers  at  the  door  of  any  branch 
of  the  Church  of  the  Living  God. 


What  the  world  craves  today  is  a  more 
spiritual  and  less  formal  religion.  To 
the  man  or  woman  facing  death,  great 
conflict,  the  big  problems  of  human  life, 
the  forms  of  religion  are  a  hollow  mock¬ 
ery,  the  spirit  an  impregnable  fortress. 

I  plead  not  for  a  modification  of  form 
but  for  its  subordination  to  the  spirit; 
not  for  the  abolishing  of  ordinances,  but 
for  their  voluntary  rather  than  obliga¬ 
tory  observance;  not  that  these  solemn 
rites  should  be  set  aside,  but  that  they 
should  be  entered  into  as  a  sacred 
privilege,  an  act  of  loving  consecration, 
rather  than  submitted  to  as  an  enforcible 
law.  So  and  so  only  will  their  real 


22 


WHAT  OF  ITS 
FUTURE 


beauty  and  meaning  be  understood  and 
their  true  purpose  realized. 


As  we  face,  then,  the  world^s  need  of 
great  spiritual  leadership,  that  humanity 
may  be  brought  into  vital,  daily  relation¬ 
ship  with  a  living  God,  and  that  all  the 
forces  of  righteousness  may  be  united  in 
an  eternal  warfare  against  the  forces  of 
evil,  we  ask  again  the  question — ^^What 
of  the  future  of  the  Christian  Church?^’ 
This  is  the  answer  which  I  give  you : 

If  the  various  divisions  of  the  church 
as  it  is  organized  today  catch  the  vision, 
have  the  breadth,  the  tolerance,  the 
courage,  and,  setting  aside  all  non- 
essentials,  all  barriers,  will  stand  upon 
the  bedrock  principles  of  God^s  love  and 

23 


THE  CHRISTIAN 
CHURCH 

Christas  living  spirit,  *^^not  satisfied  until 
the  church  is  the  church  of  all  good  men 
and  women,  until  all  good  thoughts  and 
deeds  are  laid  at  the  feet  of  the  Lord  of 
all  good  life,’’  the  Church  of  the  Living 
God  will  come  into  being,  ushering  in  a 
new  era  of  Christian  unity. 


What  an  opportunity!  What  a  privi¬ 
lege!  Wliat  a  duty!  In  God’s  name  I 
ask,  does  anyone  dare  let  it  pass?
